Bloomsbury is an area of the London Borough of Camden, in central London, between Euston Road and Holborn, developed by the Russell family in the 17th and 18th centuries into a fashionable residential area. It is notable for its array of garden squares, literary connections (exemplified by the Bloomsbury Group), and numerous cultural, educational and health-care institutions. Bloomsbury was not the first area of London to have acquired a formal square, Bloomsbury Square laid out in 1660 by Thomas Wriothesley, 4th Earl of Southampton, as Southampton Square was the first square to be named as such.

Terrific

Home away from home! Great space, clean, well-appointed. Everything you need to make for a comfortable stay. Welcomed at the home right on time, with all the detail necessary for my family to enjoy the space. Short walk to Russell Square tube stop and the British Museum. We walked to Soho, Covent Garden and other key destinations. Highly recommended.

Roomy, quiet and great location

A very roomy apartment in a quiet neighborhood. Nice sized bathrooms with great water pressure. The twin beds were comfortable but the full size bed in the master suite was rather lumpy. Having a washing machine was fantastic and the rack provided for drying made it easy as everything dried over night. Some great restaurants are within walking distance and it's a lovely neighborhood and felt very safe. We took Uber everywhere but the tube stops were nearby. We loved the apartment and would stay there again the next time we are in London.

Great location with modern style and amenities

The living/dining room is spacious with seating for 5 or 6 people. Both bedrooms are decent sized with lots of closets and drawers. The bathrooms are super with heated towel bars and nice big towels. The kitchen is adequate (all the necessary appliances including a dishwasher), but tiny. I did like the big window! The air conditioning wasn't working during our stay which meant open windows (and some street noise), but fans kept us comfortable. Climbing the stairs wasn't a problem for us, but could be a deterrent for some guests.

The neighborhood is peasant and convenient to shops and cafes. Three tube stations are an easy walk and much of central London is within walking distance. Or you can get a cab right outside the door. The best find is the garden cafe at the Dickens Museum just down the street. There is no admission charge to eat a light meal or snack, although the museum is worth a visit on its own. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Wonderful flat for a family exploring London

We had a great time in this flat. It was just what we were looking for to spend a week in London. There was lots of space to settle in and make it our home, which was easy to do as the flat was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Plus, we loved the location. We completely walking around the neighborhood -- there were plenty of restaurants and playgrounds (for our 4-year old son) and it is exceptionally close to bus stops (or the Tube) to get us wherever we wanted to go.

Clean, pleasant, handy.

Nice area. We walked to Covent Garden, St Paul's Cathedral etc, but buses depart very regularly from around the corner, and the tube is about 10 to 15 minutes walk. We made contact and were greeted easily. The room was clean and reasonably well equipped but we ate lunch and dinner out so can't comment on the kitchen equipment.

Despite its cultural, historic and scientific bragging rights, Bloomsbury has a well-healed yet understated atmosphere.
